A high street shop is only days away from its grand opening after being bought by a new owner.
Located in the High Street, Kings Langley, the shop has undergone an inside and outside transformation after Sian Turner took over the shop.It will sell homeware, garden and lifestyle goods as it used too, and customers will be able to view the products while celebrating the opening with Prosecco and cakes.She said: “I was a customer of the shop before, and I have always loved it.
“The previous owner Jill and I always talked, and I said, ‘if you are ever ready to retire, I would love to buy it’.”Speaking of her career change, she said: “I think there are a lot of similarities between working in education and retail – it’s about people and I’m a people person.” While the high-end products, such as Plum & Ashby candles are still for sale, Sian said she has made changes to the décor.
She said: “The colour scheme before was very Scandinavian, which was great, but when you start fresh you want your own branding as a new entity. I didn’t want people to think it’s exactly the same.Sian, who lives in Water Ends just outside Hemel Hempstead, said she decided Kings Langley was the right place for her new venture because she likes the community atmosphere.“The reception from everyone here has been great. The other businesses have been really supportive and cheering me on.
